B-Sol's RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD Commentary! It's the Vault's 2nd Anniversary!

Two years ago today, I sat in a cubicle at a dreary former job and decided to write about stuff that I actually enjoy. Thus was born The Vault of Horror, and now, to celebrate the second anniversary, I've recorded my first-ever solo "DVD commentary", on the movie that started it all for me as a horror fanatic--Dan O'Bannon's The Return of the Living Dead.

I hope you enjoy listening, whether below, on the Vaultcast site, or via download. I also hope you've enjoyed the past two years, as I've tried my best to make the Vault the best damn horror blog out there. Here's to many more years!

Oh, I lost my invitation to the Vault of Horror reception tonight at the Plaza's ballroom, I trust there won't be any unpleasantness when I show up with my entourage. Make sure the doormen know who I am ;)

Thanks guys! Bug, I sincerely hope the Vault stays open that long! And Pax, if only the second anniversary could be commemorated in such a fashion, as opposed to the reality: Sitting in silence on my lazy boy recliner while the wife sleeps on the couch next to me. Ah, real life!

Marilyn Merlot here: Happy Blogging Anniversary. It's so surreal to see something we talked about actually come to life & we all have you to thank for that. You are great at what you do, keep up the good work.

Which horror film *should* be remade?

Welcome to the Vault....

I've been fascinated with horror ever since my parents let me watch The Exorcist at 8 years old (what were they thinking??) and I ran up to my bed screaming when Linda Blair's eyes rolled into the back of her head.Although it often gets a bad rap from "mainstream" critics and audiences alike, horror has often been the most creative and vibrant movie genre of all, from Nosferatu to Saw. Some of the finest motion pictures ever made are part of the horror genre, including Frankenstein, Psycho, The Shining and my personal all-time favorite, George Romero's Dawn of the Dead.This blog is the culmination of my 25-year love affair with all things blood and guts--so check back here often for news and opinion on the world of horror. And remember...
